P.Reduncus info

[Samuelh3942]

So far I’ve only kept terrestrial T’s. It the P.Reduncus a good starter arboreal T? Because I’ve always wanted an arboreal T and I’m thinking of buying one as a sling, any advice or things that I need to know?

Avicularia species are considered a more "beginner" arboreal because they tend to be not as fast and defensive as others. They will also be seen out more often.

Okay I will take that into consideration. Thanks

My personal opinion is that as long as you do your homework, know what to expect, plan for it, and maintain respect for the animal. You can keep any species you're comfortable with.

Okay I might get the P.Reduncus and an Avicularia species T then, thanks for helping me out!

^^^ This is terrible advice.

Psalmopoeus are very, very fast. And not a good first arboreal tarantula because of the speed.

All the "homework" in the world won't prepare someone for the lightning quickness of a Psalmopoeus of it gets startled.

I appreciate your opinion. Thanks

Experience is great but were not talking an OW here. He's got to start somewhere and he says he has some experience. There is plenty of info out there that one can use to "take the plunge" responsibly. There isn't anything super complicated about keeping these. You just need to be aware of the speed and take precautions.

If the T is too fast, then I can give it to my friend. He has many OW and NW T’s and he’d be happy to get a new one
